Regenerative Medicine for ED

Regenerative Medicine for ED

Erectile dysfunction, or impotence, is one of the most
challenging complications for men to deal with. Difficulty maintaining an
erection is a physical condition with a far stronger psychological impact. It
can lead to a breakdown in confidence and even result in relationship problems.
Sometimes medications don’t go far enough to treat the condition and an
alternative remedy is preferred.

Regenerative therapy for erectile dysfunction (ED) may be an
effective approach for treating the symptoms of impotence for qualified
candidates. Regenerative medicine has been used for treating ED in our Beverly
Hills facial plastic and cosmetic surgery practice. Many patients treated for
erectile dysfunction with regenerative medicine report restoration of function
and results that last. Read on for more information about regenerative medicine
for ED in Beverly Hills.

About Regenerative Therapy & ED

Regenerative therapy for ED in the past has primarily involved the use of adipose (or fat) derived cells injected in the erectile tissue of the penis. This article in Medical News Today discusses this approach and the incredible results patients in trials experienced.

Today, umbilical cord allograft derived cells may be used
with or without platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments for comparable or
improved results. This form of human cellular and tissue-based products (HCT/P)
may be preferred for its regenerative benefits, such as those potentially
offered by the presence of MSCs. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) may also be
recommended for its growth factors. You can learn more about regenerative
medicine in our Beverly Hills office, including umbilical cord allograft and
PRP, with this
handy FAQ.

Similar to the approach detailed in Medical News Today, the
regenerative medicine is administered through injection in the erectile tissue
of the penis. Follow up platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments may be
recommended for some cases, or even additional umbilical cord allograft cell
injections in other, more severe situations.

The potential benefits of regenerative therapies, like those involving umbilical cord allograft, are believed to be the reason behind the results reported in Medical News Today and other trials. What makes these therapies particularly exciting is the possibility of tissue regeneration. This goes beyond medication in simply masking the symptoms of erectile dysfunction. While treating the symptoms of ED is the goal, regenerative medicine may also result in vascular recovery and the regeneration of nerves and other tissues. Many of these tissues are involved in maintaining an erection.

Many patients report an improvement from the treatment. In
one regenerative medicine trial for ED, as described in Medical News Today, all
21 out of 21 men experienced improvement in erectile function 6 months following
treatment.
